It would be super awesome to roll PDroid into Liberty builds now forward:

PDroid allows blocking access for any installed application to the following data separately:
Why you would want to use it:
[APP][2.2+] PDroid - The Better Privacy Protection - xda-developers
PDroid allows blocking access for any installed application to the following data separately:
- Device ID (IMEI/MEID/ESN)
- Subscriber ID (IMSI)
- SIM serial (ICCID)
- Phone and mailbox number
- Incoming call number
- Outgoing call number
- GPS location
- Network location
- List of accounts (including your google e-mail address)
- Account auth tokens
- Contacts
- Call logs
- Calendar
- SMS
- MMS
- Browser bookmarks and history
- System logs
- SIM info (operator, country)
- Network info (operator, country)
Why you would want to use it:
- Applicaitons do NOT crash when access to private data is blocked (unlike with Permissions Denied or CM)
- Fine-grained tuning of access to private data
- No background service needed
- Very small memory footprint (~700KB)
- No impact on battery life
- No impact on performance (5ms overhead on access to private data; yes, that's 0.005s)
- 100% reliable unlike ROOT applications (LBE), which need to start their background service on boot (see android underground to learn why this is an issue)
- No ROOT required for the app to run
- No Android permissions required for the app to run
